CaffiNation Reviews: The Smart Grinder From Breville

The wrong settings can ruin a cup for french press, destroy an espresso machine or make your autodrip nice and weak. Enter the latest item to cross my desk. The wondrous Breville Smart Grinder, BCG800XL. Breville was nice enough to send me the unit to review. I wanted to put the machine through a real world test, and that meant drinking a lot of coffee. I tried them all from French press to cold brew, espresso to Greek coffee.

CaffiNation 467: Janus

Janus, the Roman god most commonly found on coinage has the unique ability among that pantheon of looking both backwards and forwards. Probably the same sentiment expressed by the common idiom, "You have to know where you've been to know where you're going." It is in his honor that we offer up this episode to you. Janus is also the root word for January, see where this is headed? Of course you do! Each one of you is as smart and beautiful as they come, mainly because you listen to this show. This show will turn 5 years old on January 9th 2011. I've been blogging a good deal longer than that in one form or another. The site and the idea were going to be a webcomic, but I can't draw, and I'm not really all that funny... So I decided my two passions of geekery and coffee needed a home and the CaffiNation was born. I even delayed doing the first show a couple of months until I had a good intro music. Tonight's show is going to look back at this past year and pull some of my favorite pieces out. While at the same time giving you a glimpse into what we are thinking for the future.

CaffiNation 419: Cavern News

We are still stuck between a dank spot and dry rot here in the cavern. Once more I had to delay actually fixing it back into a lair for another week. I'm really going to try and work out the bugs and get a new floor down. Living in disarray is bothering me something fierce. Entropy is real and its taking my house with it!

Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes, and support. This past weekend I got to meet a twitter friend and discuss the organic nature of the service. I got to have plenty of Coffee and Creme Stout from a local brewery, and i got to spend plenty of time with friends and family. Being that the weekend was as Tech Free as it was, diving back into tech, writing, and podcasting this week has been quite fruitful indeed. Tonight we're going to dive back into the fun post apocalyptic world of Zombie killing, Enjoy some good coffee and discuss the finer points of tech communication and responses. So it should be a great episode, hopefully you'll enjoy what we're serving today.

We have a ton of new content on deck i just need to flesh it out and give it life so to speak. The Robot Overlord Appeasement poster is going to rock, the Tech in Tough times articles are shaping up as well. But thats all in the future, today's show has a host of great links to lego goodness, some fun kerfuffle concerning TOS and the facebook flack, and a ton more content covering all the stuff listed above and more. I would like to say that even though the Facebook story takes up a good deal of physical space on the post it does not in fact use anywhere near that amount of time in the show. I just wanted to make sure i was able to share all of the great content that was pushed out in reference. While the story is old, lessons can still be learned from the issues it raised.

Today's Show:  Tim Hortons, Cold Stone, Bento, Road signs, ACME, Ray guns, guitars, Legos, Star trek, Twitter Tales of Customer Service After yet another way too quick weekend we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a work week. What better way to kick things off then with a Valentine's Week Warm up.  Not some mushy, heart to heart talk with you the audience but rather just dealing exclusively in stories I know you'll love. Cheesy? Yes! True? Also yes. Today's show has a couple of smaller themes within and a good balance between the caffeinated geeky sides to the coin. Fidelity makes a strong case for a resurgence of vinyl, a better way to listen and better ways to consume tech in general, Stick around for the caffeinated times as well, were we discuss a brand merger in the caffeinated world some gripes over starbucks, gift cards, and some interesting products all around. As you can see its going to be a great show, So i hope you enjoy! I also make another plea to review the Kindle hands on, because there is no way I'm going to be able to drop that type of coin so a gadget I haven't seen. Hey it worked for Stephen Colbert with the iPhone, Amazon... I'd like a Kindel. ---------------------- Sponsor:  Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days!

I’m a hge [...]
